@Fordy1600 @nuclearforaus @Donsvess Maybe where the used solar panels and wind turbines are put, in the ground! So much for the environmental.

@nuclearforaus @Donsvess Where do we put the waste? Up your arse?

Australia's first pro-nuclear bill in years has just passed the Upper House of the NSW Parliament. This is a major win for our movement. Next step is to keep up the pressure when the bill goes to the Lower House where NSW Labor has a majority. Thank you for your support, the future is bright for nuclear in Australia. ✍️Take Action 📚Learn More 🛍️ Shop Merch nuclearforaustralia.com

@FaktCheka @nuclearforaus So the aim in your books is to fast-track wind & solar, not to reduce CO2 emissions?

@nuclearforaus How much Coal $ to NFS? Delaying renewables is so transparent!

@S_GerardRennick @Leevirtue Yes!

Politicians in Australia are earning hundreds of thousands every year—far above the average worker. Some people say they deserve it for the responsibility and pressure of running the country. Others argue that during a cost-of-living crisis, these salaries are simply too high.

@NoticerNews We all know it’s being rorted and it is frustrating to see the government not take the fraud seriously with a sense of urgency to limit the bleeding of money.

Buckets of gold, silver and cash have been seized in a series of raids on an alleged NDIS fraud syndicate in Queensland, with a total of $5 million in assets frozen.

@mattjcan Does Chalmers have any economic advisers? What are they advising him?

Interest rates have gone up again because the Labor government has not controlled government spending and they have no growth plan for the Australian economy. Australia had the highest inflation in the developed world BEFORE the Iran conflict.

@patwitch @HJB_News__ Have a good look at the video. He was not unconscious. The police were trying to get the man to give up the knife. How would you have handled it?

@HJB_News__ As much as I dislike Khan he's right on this point. Where do the arresting rules allow for a suspect to be kicked in the head and stomped on the head whilst he is unconscious lying on the floor? Did Plod have steel boots on? Ploddies need to be arrested themselves

London mayor Sadiq Khan has said the MET police used excessive force in arresting the suspect who stabbed two Jewish men, one in his 30s and one in his 70s, in Golders Green north London. Police called it a terrorist incident, and the suspect, a 45-year-old named Essa Suleiman, was arrested and charged with attempted murder. Both victims are stable.

@Mon4Kooyong Ad hominem

Nothing says ‘there for Aussie battlers’ like accepting a $1m jet from Gina Rinehart because you don't want to have to talk to normal people on normal planes. Another day, another headline about Barnaby Joyce and Pauline Hanson spending their time and taxpayers’ money slavering at the feet of Gina Rinehart and Donald Trump. abc.net.au/news/2026-04-3…

@news_australian You meant to say weakest didn’t you?

Do you agree that Anthony Albanese is Australia’s best Prime Minister in history? DISCUSS👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 #auspol #anthonyalbanese

@drumpfisinsane @realMaalouf Police brutality? Perhaps next time they should send you in to subdue him and remove the knife from his hand. If it was so brutal why did it not at any time result in him dropping the knife?

@realMaalouf No matter how evil the guy is there’s no excuse for that level of police brutality. He didn’t pose a threat from where he was and all they needed to do was get him to drop the knife and cuff him.

The Muslim community in the UK is outraged at the way police detained the 45-year-old Muslim immigrant who stabbed two Jewish people in London this morning. According to them, officers used excessive force in a ‘dehumanizing’ and ‘Islamophobic’ manner.

@StandWithSound @realMaalouf The man was not cuffed and still had the knife in his hand. What about stabbing two innocent victims? Was that necessary? They should be able to use whatever means they had at their disposal to subdue him; he stabbed two people!

@MWPKGP @realMaalouf Have another look, he wasn’t cuffed and they were trying to get him to let go of the knife. The knife he stabbed two innocent people with. How might you have subdued him?

I get the anger & disgust these cops feel. Justified, 100%. But law enforcement kicking ANYone in the head and body, to vent that wrath …esp, when they’re already down, cuffed, and pose no threat… is not acceptable policing. If it is, then we’ve become as barbaric in our own fashion, as the Muslim barbarism we all condemn.

@RositaDaz48 What about using any tax gains to help pay down our debt! It took Costello a decade to pay down our $97 billion debt to make us debt free! At that rate it will take 100 years to pay down our current debt. But we have no choice but to do so if we want to survive.

Labor is set to reject a push from party elders, MPs and grassroots members to commit all extra revenue from negative gearing and capital gains tax reforms into relief for workers or new housing supply, as Anthony Albanese flags using the May budget as a weapon against social dislocation with an aim of limiting growth of right-wing populism. Ahead of the Prime Minister delivering a major speech in Perth where he will vow to devolve all environmental approvals to the states, senior sources told The Australian there would not be a direct link from new revenue measures into other sweeteners for young people under part of a plan to deliver a "responsible" budget. There are Labor MPs pushing for all revenue gained from negative gearing and capital gains tax reforms to be repurposed into income tax cuts, while Labor for Housing is calling for it to be poured into programs that will support part of a plan to deliver a "responsible" budget. There are Labor MPs pushing for all revenue gained from negative gearing and capital gains tax reforms to be repurposed into income tax cuts, while Labor for Housing is calling for it to be poured into programs that will support the supply of housing and home ownership.

@TimUrban2910 @Georg_Pazderski What do you say about the slaughter, torture, rape and hanging of >40,000 protesters in Iran by their own government? Who fights for them?

@Georg_Pazderski Niemand, außer ein paar gestörte Exil-Iraner, die sich freuen, wenn der Iran völkerrechtswidrig bombardiert wird, unterstützen diesen Typen. Es gibt einen Grund warum es 1979 eine Revolution im Iran gab. Kein Iraner will, dass eine US/ISRAEL MARIONETTE, den Iran führt.

AUSGEZEICHNET❗️ Auf die dämliche Journalistenfrage, ob Prinz Reza Pahlavi ein Sprachrohr Israels sei, gibt er eine ausgezeichnete Antwort und entlarvt die ganze Borniertheit und Unbildung des Fragers. So sieht es aus, wenn Intellekt auf Dummheit trifft.

@TheCleanCarClub 20

Can You Solve This

@TheCleanCarClub Wait for the $20million Aus Govt add campaign to find out. And I suspect driving at 60kph everywhere does too.

Does cruise control help save fuel

@JJose1407 @Amockx2022 Are you talking about the injustice wrought on the Iranian people for the last 47 years?

BREAKING : Trump gets massive SHOCK from China, big victory for 🇪🇸 Pedro Sánchez 🇺🇸 Trump –– "We will cut all the trade ties with Spain because they didn't support me against Iran" *Exactly after 36 hours* 🇨🇳 Xi Jinping –– 🔥 "Spain is standing on the right side of the history, it is very reasonable county. China stands with Spain. We will work towards world peace and oppose the law of the jungle" Trump and Netanyahu will have heartburn seeing this 🤣

Sky News Au The Loy Yang A power station in Victoria's Latrobe Valley generates 2210 megawatts of electricity. Around the clock. Every day. Rain hail or shine. It supplies roughly 30 percent of Victoria's entire electricity needs and powers over two million homes. It has been doing this since 1984. The active coal pit that feeds it covers 650 hectares. The total site including everything around it is 6000 hectares. To put that in perspective for anyone in regional NSW that is roughly the size of a decent family farm. In 2023 AGL spent 92 million dollars refurbishing one of its four generator units to keep it running reliably until its scheduled closure. The station is not worn out. It is not running out of coal. It is being closed by a political decision not an engineering one. Now here is the part that should make every Australian stop and think. The coal is not running out. The Loy Yang mine has reserves of 168 billion tonnes of brown coal. At current usage of 30 million tonnes per year that is enough coal to last roughly 500 years on that one site alone. Geoscience Australia calculated total recoverable brown coal reserves across the entire Latrobe Valley at more than 76 billion tonnes. At current production levels those reserves are expected to last more than 1000 years. And getting at it is not difficult. The layer of dirt covering the coal seam is only between 5 and 24 metres thick. The coal seam below it averages 180 metres thick. You remove a thin layer of topsoil and there it is. The Victorian Government has already extended the mining licence to 2065. The mine was originally planned to operate until 2048. It is being deliberately closed 13 years early. So what does it take to replace it. To generate the same amount of electricity from solar panels during daylight hours you need somewhere between 14000 and 16000 hectares of panels. That is more than 20 times the land area of the entire Loy Yang site including the mine. And after all that solar produces nothing at night. Nothing on heavily overcast days. And nothing at all after a hailstorm tears through the installation. So you need wind turbines to cover the nights and the cloudy days. Australian wind turbines have a real world capacity factor of around 30 to 35 percent. That means a turbine rated at 6 megawatts only generates an average of around 2 megawatts of actual power across a full year because the wind does not blow consistently. To replace 2210 megawatts of around the clock coal power with wind you need installed wind capacity of roughly 6500 to 7000 megawatts. At 6 megawatts per turbine that is over 1100 wind turbines. The Sapphire Wind Farm in NSW has 75 turbines and covers 8921 hectares. Scaling that up to 1100 turbines you are looking at roughly 130000 hectares of wind farm sprawling across regional Australia. And even then it still cannot guarantee power on a calm cloudy night. For those periods you need batteries or pumped hydro storage which requires yet more land and yet more billions. So to replace one coal power station and its mine covering 6000 hectares you need approximately 14000 to 16000 hectares of solar panels plus approximately 130000 hectares of wind farm plus thousands of kilometres of new transmission lines to connect it all to where people actually live plus battery storage or pumped hydro for the gaps. That is a total footprint of somewhere between 130000 and 150000 hectares against 6000 hectares for Loy Yang. More than 20 times the land area. Mostly on prime agricultural land across regional Australia. And it still cannot guarantee a single watt on a calm cloudy night. The transmission lines needed to carry all this electricity are already blowing out catastrophically in cost before they are even built. The Central West Orana transmission zone near Dubbo started at 650 million dollars and is now confirmed at 5.5 billion. Eight times the original estimate. The VNI West project connecting Victoria and NSW went from 3.9 billion to potentially 11 billion. Project EnergyConnect from South Australia to NSW went from 1.53 billion to over 4 billion. Every dollar of every blowout goes onto your electricity bill for the next 30 to 50 years through network charges. Australian taxpayers and electricity customers have already paid more than 29 billion dollars subsidising the renewable energy industry over the past ten years. The 2024 federal budget committed another 22 billion on top of that. That is over 50 billion dollars and counting. For a fraction of that money Australia could have built several modern high efficiency gas or coal power stations that would generate reliable electricity around the clock on a fraction of the land. Or we could have a serious conversation about nuclear power which France has used for decades to generate cheap reliable around the clock electricity on minimal land with zero carbon emissions. Instead we are deliberately closing a perfectly good power station that was just refurbished for 92 million dollars. Walking away from a coal reserve that would last 500 years. Covering tens of thousands of hectares of prime agricultural land with solar panels made in China using coal fired electricity. Building 1100 wind turbines across farming country that still cannot keep the lights on after dark. And spending hundreds of billions on transmission lines that blow out to eight times their original cost before the first pole is in the ground. We are closing a 6000 hectare power station and mine that has powered Victoria for 40 years to build 150000 hectares of solar and wind infrastructure that cannot match what it replaces. And the people making these decisions do not farm a single acre of the land they are covering with panels and turbines.
